Riassunto

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1903. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... Potsie liturgique au Moyen Age, vol. i (all published, 1886), and W. H. Frere, The Winchester Troper (1894). I have not been able to see A. Reiners, Die Tropen-, Prosen-unci Prdfations-Gesdnge des feierlichen Hochamtes im Mittelalter (1884). Antiquarian data are collected by H. J. Feasey, Ancient English Holy Week Ceremonial (1897), and A. Heales, Easter Sepulchres, in Archaeologia, vol. xlii. I have printed an important passage from the Regularis Concordia of St. Ethelwold (965-75) in Appendix O. The Planctus Mariae are treated by A. Schonbach, Die Marienklagen (1874), and E. Wechssler, Die romanischen Marienklagen (1893). W. Koppen, Beitrdge zur Geschichte der deutschen Weihnachtsspiele (1893), and M. Sepet, Les Prophetes du Christ (1878), contain valuable studies of the evolution of the Stella and the Prophetae respectively.

Stoddard, References for Students of Miracle Plays and Mysteries (1887).--Authorities forEnglish facts given without references in the present volume will be found in Appendices W and X. The discussions of the first volume have often wandered far enough from the history of the stage. But two or three tolerable generalizations emerge. The drama as a living form of art went completely under at the break-up of the Roman world: a process of natural decay was accelerated by the hostility of Christianity, which denied the theatre, and by the indifference of barbarism, which had never imagined it. If anything of a histrionic tradition survived, it took the shape of pitiable farce, one amongst many heterogeneous elements in the spectacula of disreputable mimes. For the m...
